NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ares Management Corporation (NYSE:ARES) today reported its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

GAAP net income attributable to Ares Management Corporation was $45.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. On a basic and diluted basis, net income attributable to Ares Management Corporation per share of Class A and non-voting common stock was $0.24 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

After-tax realized income was $206.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. After-tax realized income per share of Class A and non-voting common stock was $0.65 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Fee related earnings were $205.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“Despite the challenging markets and significant volatility, we continued our strong growth in our core financial metrics during the first quarter, including 59% year over year growth in our fee related earnings,” said Michael Arougheti, Chief Executive Officer and President of Ares. “With a record $92 billion of available capital to invest, a robust fundraising pipeline over the next 18 months and compelling fund performance, we remain well positioned to make opportunistic investments and to continue our earnings growth in the coming quarters and years.”

“With $13.7 billion of gross capital raised during the first quarter, our investors continue to recognize our ability to perform well throughout market cycles,” said Jarrod Phillips, Chief Financial Officer of Ares. “Our accrued net performance income doubled over the past 12 months which we believe represents our strong fund performance and signifies our future potential to realize more substantial longer term performance income.”
